IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ~ Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. ~ Do not handle the plug or vacuum with wet hands. ~ Keep the power cord, hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts. ~ Do not place anything into the openings of the vacuum. Do not use if any openings are blocked; keep them free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may reduce air flow. ~ This appliance is equipped with a power cord reel. Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding. ~ Turn off all controls before unplugging. ~ Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. ~ Floor attachments, accessories and wands must not be used at head level to avoid injury to eyes and ears. ~ Monitor the dustbag change indicator and inspect all filters regularly. For best performance, the dustbag and filters should be replaced when necessary. A full bag or blocked filter will reduce the vacuum cleaner's suction power. A temperature limiter automatically switches the vacuum cleaner off if it gets too hot, see "Frequently asked questions". Using accessories ~ The hose and the telescopic wand contain electrical wires. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if these parts are damaged, cut or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp objects. Danger of electric shock! ~ Unplug the vacuum when changing accessories, especially the Turbobrush, and Powerbrush. ~ To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele Power or Turbobrush do not touch the rotating roller brush.
